<p>The library is blessed to have wonderful community support through a strong network of faithful volunteers to financial donations that make special projects possible.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.littlechutewi.org/index.aspx?NID=226">Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival</a> has provided generous support for the library for several years now, and with their help we have been able to focus our early literacy efforts into the creation of a very successful&nbsp;<a href="http://www.kimlit.org/programs/1000BooksB4K">1000 Books Before Kindergarten</a> program. We were thrilled this past Fall when they again chose to honor the library with a grant that enabled us to purchase new books to enhance our early literacy collections at the Gerard H. Van Hoof Library in Little Chute. It has been exciting to see the new materials coming in and being put into the hands of eager young readers and their families.</p>

<p>Stop by the library to see the display of materials purchased with this grant, check some titles out for your family, and thank those who serve or work each year at the Cheese Festival for making this dream possible.</p>

<p>Each year, as we prepare for the Summer Reading Program, we invite community businesses and civic groups to make a donation to support the program. The funds received help pay for the fabulous performers who fill our program days in the middle of each week, purchase books &amp; grand prizes given as incentives for children who are reaching their weekly reading goals, and other expenses to support the costs of the program.</p>
<p>Without the support of the community, our Summer Reading Program would simply not be possible. Contributing organizations have our profuse thanks for continuing their support of reading, literacy, and lifelong learning. We're off to a good start this year with donations slowing accumulating. At the time of this writing, we have received contributions from the following agencies:</p>
<ul>
<li>American Legion Jacob Coppus Post No. 258</li>
<li>BLC Community Bank</li>
<li>Kimberly Area Soccer Association</li>
<li>Kiwanis Club of Little Chute</li>
<li>TOPS WI 727 Kimberly</li>
<li>TOPS WI 875 Kimberly</li>
</ul>
<p>In-kind donations have also been received from:</p>

<li>The Learning Shop</li>
<li>Little Chute Parks &amp; Rec</li>
